@krideynyc thanks for all the information.
the medical system being overwhelmed is the true threat of this virus. It just spreads entirely to fast for any healthcare system to keep up with it.
IMO
flatten the curve is our only acceptable solution
As more and more people get exposed to the virus, most of those people will survive and have built up antibodies.
the healthcare system will find more effective ways of caring for the ill.
the weather will dampen the spread of this.
the correct hygiene and social distancing will help prevent the spread of this and many other diseases in the future.
You will probably catch this very contagious virus. We just don't want everyone catching it at the same time.
My opinion right now is that this country will survive and thrive once we have accepted this virus as we have so many others in the past. We will be watching the countries going into their winter months and the healthcare industry will continue to work on vaccines and treatments.
We have had pandemics before and we will have them again. technology for tracking, testing and controlling illness will get better with time.
